If a total of 1250 offspring were obtained from your cross, determine the number of offspring that you would expect to obtain that represent a single crossover event between pr and vg if interference does not occur.

Answer :

Answer:

106 single crossover events

Explanation:

Total number of offspring = 1250

Determine the number of offspring that would be expected

( Rf between the genes vg and Pr ) * ( Total number of progeny )

  =   0.125 * 1250 ≈ 156 ( value for single and double crossovers )

next :

( value of the Rf of double crossovers ) * ( Total number of progeny )

= (0.322 * 0.125) = 0.04025  * 1250 = 50

Hence the number of offspring expected to obtain/represent a single crossover event between pr and vg

=  156 - 50 =  106
